title: [An evolutionary and prognostic study of patients with liver cirrhosis. I. A particular correlation analysis of the data from clinical observation and clinico-laboratory and instrumental studies in relation to the survival of patients with liver cirrhosis].
abstract: The influence of some clinical indices, clinico-laboratory and instrumental examinations on the survival of patient with liver cirrhosis was studied by implication of the programs 1D and 2D of the statistical package BMDP. The separate statistical comparisons show that of their own importance for the survival of the cirrhotic patients are the initial clinical manifestations (the latent and subclinical cirrhosis have a better prognosis), the size of the liver and the degree of portal hypertension assessed by laparoscopy according to the authors' classification in 4 grades (the patients with portal hypertension even in the absence of ascites show a significantly lower survival). The presence of concomitant diseases, the treatment applied and the cause of death do not play a significant role in the survival of the patients with liver cirrhosis.
